Who Said Ten Grand Is So Grand

WHO SAID TEN GRAND IS SO GRAND? There are just some things that should be decided by fate And the others are conceived in my mind like a flash Don’t shoot bad dope, don’t go into bad neighborhoods too late And never owe the biggest dope dealer in town ten grand Sometimes I feel as if I should move on to someplace new Somewhere when the cock is your alarm clock and that’s fine Sometimes I feel as if I’d like a new name, perhaps Lou Whatever place or name I choose it will become all mine Sometimes I wake up feeling as if someone is staring a pair of eyes aimed accurately in my direction But my eyes are only half opened because the sun was glaring So I check out my house, section by section Simply because no one’s following me doesn’t mean I’m not paranoid It just means there’s no one constantly on my tail Besides I know the ones to avoid and those who get me annoyed Since I have no one who knows where I am and I don’t get calls nor mail Sometimes I feel as if I should pack my bags and go Just take my hat off the rack and tote my ragged bag I just get this feeling that I’m a target somewhere I don’t know And when my dog gets nervous as well I see his tail wildly wag Some suns tell me when the moon comes I should be in an alternate place So I find my lover and relocate to another languid land But stagnation will kill me or hurt her to get to me and mess up my face Because that’s the price you pay for owing the biggest dope dealer ten grand © 2011.….Phreepoetree
